Hamish Napier is a gifted Scottish multi-instrumentalist, composer, and educator, hailing from the Highland village of Grantown-on-Spey. His music deeply reflects the rich cultural heritage and scenic landscapes of his homeland. A talented flautist, pianist, and vocalist, Napier has carved out a distinctive niche in the contemporary folk scene, creating conceptually driven projects that resonate with both traditional authenticity and innovative spirit.

A graduate of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Napier's solo career blossomed with the release of "The River" in 2016, an homage to the Spey river that flows through his native Cairngorms National Park. This was followed by "The Railway" in 2018, illustrating his fascination with the history of the Highland railways and its profound impact on the local community. His 2020 album, "The Woods," completes this trilogy of albums inspired by his Highland homeland, exploring the mythology, folklore, and ecology of Scottish woodlands. Each of these works showcases Napier's rich storytelling ability, his virtuoso playing, and his passion for immersing listeners in the narratives and nuances of rural Scotland.
